Remembering Juneteenth

When we remember, we can do better. [Plaskett for Congress]( Dear {NAME}, “None of us are free until we’re all free.” – Ms. Opal Lee, Grandmother of Juneteenth On Juneteenth, June 19, 1865, we celebrated the end of slavery in the United States, two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation. Freedom requires sustained action and a commitment to equality. This recent wave of Black history bans across the United States, are not only attacks of racism on Black communities, but also our public education. As an advocate for equality and justice, I know that we cannot let our history be forgotten.
